TEHRAN – The Islamic Revolution Guard Corps (IRGC) Ground Forces commander reported that most members of the terrorist circle involved in the Taftan attack were killed by drone strikes shortly after the incident.

During a meeting with prominent social figures in Sistan and Baluchestan province, Major General Mohammad Pakpour discussed the response to the Taftan terrorist attack, stating, “The primary figures and ring leader of the terrorist group were targeted with combat drones, resulting in casualties among them, with some either killed or injured, while others fled.” 

The commander added, “The rapid response of the IRGC underscores their dedication to ensuring security and stability in the region, simultaneously acting as a deterrent to other possible terrorist threats. The organization's prompt reaction to the Taftan attack showcases its sophisticated capabilities in countering terrorism and protecting Iran's national interests.” 

Pakpour emphasized that this successful operation by the IRGC conveys a strong message that any efforts to jeopardize Iran's security will be confronted with a decisive and unwavering response, adding that 80% of the individuals involved in the Taftan attack have so far been liquated. 

On October 26, the so-called Jaish al-Adl terrorist group, known inside Iran as Jaish al-Zulm, ambushed a police convoy near Taftan in Iran’s southeastern Sistan and Balouchestan province, taking the lives of 10 military personnel. The attack happened the same day Israel carried out airstrikes against Iran.
